    The Spring Framework is a lightweight Java framework that provides support for various other frameworks like Struts and Hibernate. It comprises several modules including Inversion of Control (IOC), Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP), and Data Access Objects (DAO). IOC and dependency injection allow removing dependencies from code to make it loosely coupled and easier to test and maintain. The IOC container instantiates, configures, and assembles objects based on information from an XML file.

    Spring Framework:

    Spring is a lightweight framework


    It can be thought of as a framework of frameworks because it provides support
    to various frameworks such as Struts, Hibernate, Tapestry, EJB, JSF etc

    Spring Framework Modules:

    The Spring framework comprises several modules such as IOC, AOP, DAO,
    Context, ORM, WEB MVC etc.

    Inversion Of Control (IOC) and Dependency Injection

    These are the design patterns that are used to remove dependency from the
    programming code
    They make the code easier to test and maintain. Let's understand this with the
    following code:

    class Employee{
    Address address;
    Employee(){
    address=new Address();
    }
    }
    In such case, there is dependency between the Employee and Address (tight
    coupling). In the Inversion of Control scenario, we do this something like this:

    class Employee{
    Address address;
    Employee(Address address){
    this.address=address;
    }
    }
    Thus, IOC makes the code loosely coupled. In such case, there is no need to
    modify the code if our logic is moved to new environment
    Advantages of Spring Framework

    There are many advantages of Spring Framework.

    Predefined Templates: (SF provides template for JDBC, Hibernate, JPA etc.)

    Loose Coupling: (Spring applications are loosely coupled because of dependency


    injection)

    Lightweight: (Spring framework is lightweight because of its POJO


    implementation)

    Easy to test: (The Dependency Injection makes easier to test the application. The
    EJB or Struts application require server to run the application but Spring
    framework doesn't require server)

    Fast Development: (The Dependency Injection feature of Spring Framework and


    it support to various frameworks makes the easy development of JavaEE
    application.)

    Powerful abstraction: (It provides powerful abstraction to JavaEE specifications


    such as JMS, JDBC, JPA and JTA.)

    Declarative support: (It provides declarative support for caching, validation,


    transactions and formatting)

    IoC Container:

    The IoC container is responsible to instantiate, configure and assemble the


    objects.

    The IoC container gets informations from the XML file and works accordingly

    The main tasks performed by IoC container are:

    to instantiate the application class


    to configure the object
    to assemble the dependencies between the objects

    There are two types of IoC containers. They are:

    1. BeanFactory
    2. ApplicationContext
    Both are interface act as the IOC container.

    The ApplicationContext interface is built on top of the BeanFactory interface.


    It adds some extra functionality than BeanFactory such as simple integration with
    Spring's AOP, message resource handling (for I18N), event propagation, application
    layer specific context (e.g. WebApplicationContext) for web application. So it is
    better to use ApplicationContext than BeanFactory.

    Bean Factory:

    Resource resource=new ClassPathResource("applicationContext.xml");


    BeanFactory factory=new XmlBeanFactory(resource);

    Using ApplicationContext:

    ApplicationContext context = new


    ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext.xml");

    Dependency Injection in Spring


    Dependency Injection (DI) is a design pattern that removes the dependency from
    the programming code so that it can be easy to manage and test the application.

    Dependency Injection makes our programming code loosely coupled. To understand


    the DI better, Let's understand the Dependency Lookup (DL) first:
